Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line baking sheets with parchment paper.
  2. Cream together softened butter and sugar using an electric mixer until light and fluffy, about 3-4 minutes.
  3. Beat in the egg and lemon zest until smooth and glossy, about 1-2 minutes.
  4. Gradually mix in all-purpose flour and baking powder on low speed until just combined, about 1-2 minutes.
